Abstract

Research studies on students' writing anxiety have been done in many EFL teaching contexts. However, there are still very limited scientific articles published about university students' foreign language writing anxiety and the causes in the Indonesian university context. Therefore, this study's main purpose was to analyze students' anxiety in EFL writing and its causes. This study employed a descriptive quantitative method. The study subjects were chosen from the first-year students of the Accounting Study Program of Muhammadiyah University of Palopo academic year 2021-2022, which consists of three classes. Two types of questionnaires were used for collecting the data. The first questionnaire was based on Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) developed by Cheng (2014). The questionnaire consisted of 21 items designed to assess students' English writing anxiety. The second questionnaire, the Second Language Writing Fear Inventory (CSLWFI), derived from Rezaei and Jafari's (2014), which was adopted to find out the causes of a feeling of anxiety in writing, consisted of ten questions. SPSS ver. 20 was used to analyze the gathered data. The findings revealed that the student's English writing anxiety was significant, and the key causes were poor understanding of writing concepts, linguistic obstacles, insufficient writing skill practice, and time restrictions.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the process types of the transitivity system from the reading passages and conversational texts of the EFL textbook entitled Modul Pengayaan for seventh-grade junior high school students, which is composed based on the implementation of Kurikulum 2013. The present study employed a descriptive qualitative research design. The data of this study are obtained from reading texts and conversational texts (text dialogues). The collected data of the transitivity process presented in sentences and clauses were analyzed using Halliday's transitivity system. The results show that all the process types of transitivity system with 35 processes were found in the reading passages and conversational texts of the textbook, namely: material process with 5 data (14.28%), mental process with 12 data (34.28%), verbal process with 3 data (8.57%), relational process with 13 data (37.14%), behavioral process with 1 data (2.85%), and existential process also with 1 data (2.85%). All the types of transitivity processes have been presented adequately based on Halliday's theory, although the two types of transitivity process (behavioral and existential process) almost have come from ignorance. Therefore, this study suggests that the textbook designer and material developer produce diverse clauses and sentences by using the six process types of transitivity in English written texts, especially in the reading passages and conversational texts.

Abstract

Tourism is the most beneficial sector in Bali, Indonesia. Either domestic or foreign tourists visit Bali to enjoy its beauty and unique culture. Tourism in Bali is based on society, nature, and culture. One of the interesting tourist attractions comes from Bali’s amazing nature. To accommodate nature-based tourism, many hotels, villas, and resorts are built. It requires a broad area, and sometimes land conversion from the agricultural sector into the tourism sector happened. The phenomenon of agricultural land conversion is reflected in two stories Tahun Baru di Sawah Bapak and Pura Subak. The analysis is about the main characters who are peasants. They do resistance and fight against land conversion. Both stories are analyzed using the theory of ecocriticism. The research method uses qualitative research. The result of the analysis is that conversion is not suitable with the Balinese value, Tri Hita Karana. The analysis ends up with similarities and differences between the two stories. Those conclude that land conversion which happened in holy areas may trigger problems. Nevertheless, it has been happening since a long time ago and still going on.

Abstract

This paper aims at providing a critical alternative framework for reading folktales from Indonesia from linguistic viewpoints. The choice of linguistic items in tales is significant to investigate since folktales serve as a tool to teach values to children, and they share similar patterns. By utilizing the appraisal analysis, this research attempts to discuss the characterization of humans and giants in the English version of two folktales from Central Sulawesi, a province in Indonesia. The folktales are entitled Kolombio bo Ngana Pailu (The Giant and the Orphan) (Lasipi, 1999) and Topeande (The Man-eating Giant) (Kareba, 1999). By examining the use of affect, judgement, and appreciation, this research figures out that negative attitudes dominantly characterize both human and giant characters. Out of 89 linguistic items in the data, human characters are characterized by 43 negative attitudes, while giant characters are characterized by 20 negative attitudes. Interestingly, by the positive attitudes, the human characters are predominantly depicted as superior in their cognitive abilities and skills. It provides the depiction of the way the two folktales present the human and giant characters. Meanwhile, giants are more dominant than humans in terms of their physical power and strength. This research also suggests that linguistic analysis can support storytelling activities by providing in-depth, objective discussions on the tales.

Abstract

The phonotactic system is one of the interesting phonological systems to explain because it is the system that regulates the existence, abilities, and inability of phoneme combinations of a language. To that end, this article describes the Kaur language phonotactic system which includes (1) the cluster phonotactic system and (2) the consonant series phonotactic system. The data in this study were sourced from six key informants who were domiciled in Kaur Regency (Bengkulu Province) with the criteria of being between 50-65 years old, native Kaur tribe, never left their native area, mastered Kaur language and culture well, and communicative. Data was collected through interviews and recording devices. Data were analyzed to determine the cluster and consonant series with the help of a speech analyzer. The results showed that in Kaur language (KL) there are 14 clusters (/pl/, /bl/, /gl/, /mp/, /mb/, /nt/, /nd/, /st/, /ɲc/, /ɲɟ/, /ɲcl/, /ŋk/, /ŋg/, /ŋgl/) and 21 series: /mp, mb, nt, nd, ns, ɲc, ɲɟ, ŋk, ŋg, ŋs, ʕb, ʕt, ʕd, ʕc, ʕk, ʕs, sk, st, ʔm, ʔ-ʕ, ʔ-mp/. In KL there is a unique consonant vowel sequence (homorgan consonant series). There are three rules if-then to explain the cluster of KL and five rules if-then to explain the series of KL consonants. KL has a unique phonotactic system so that this study contributes to the development of KL.

This research is descriptive qualitative research. This research uses data from questionnaire results from SIAKAD or Sistem Informasi Akademik Institut Teknologi Bisnis AAS Indonesia at siakad.itbaas.ac.id. The finding shows that ITB AAS implements monitoring of lecturers in carrying out their teaching duties by allowing students to fill out questionnaires “Lecturer Assessment by Students” by filling in SIAKAD, especially in the odd semester of 2022. Students must fill in a value, which ranges from 0-4, each questionnaire consisting of 43 questions. The questions used for obtaining lecturer assessments by students in the form of a checklist regarding lecturer performance in daily lecture activities in odd semesters 2022/2023 include aspects of lectures including planning, implementation, evaluation, and lecturer’s personality. There are 32 students from S1 Accounting study program fulfill the questionnaire. From the questionnaire, it is obtained an average rating of 3.83 on a scale of 0-4 or with “Very Good” criteria. It also shows that most dominant students choose the score (4) which shows the students perceive positively about English lecturers in the teaching and learning process. The further research needs to be implemented to know more classes and students about their ‘perception’ toward the English Language Teaching (ELT) process during one semester.

Abstract

Drawing upon data from first-hand fieldwork, this study explores the mixing of two different codes that have been recently found to be used as store names in Denpasar, the capital city of the Bali Province, Indonesia. It is aimed at describing the contact-linguistic landscape phenomenon and revealing how local store owners address multilingualism as a response to the increasingly heterogeneous and linguistically hybrid society. The research reviewed related theoretical literatures, applied observation, did some interviews with note takings, from which the data suggest the reason or motivation behind the case. In the study the spotted signages combining Balinese and English words are theoretically resemble intra-lexical code-mixing. The bilingual construction took place because each language is believed to have its own important role: the use of the local tongue reflects motivation to maintain and promote the Balinese cultural and linguistic identity, whereas, the use of English suggests expectation of projecting image of “world class” business therefore has been believed to be a tool of attracting shoppers. Despite the gradual decreasing of its native users over the generation, the option to combining Balinese and English as a business identity in public place mirrors the rising language loyalty among some of the locals that may echo the resistance towards its fatal linguistic loss in the short future.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of e-portfolios to enhance vocabulary mastery and speaking ability in non-English as Foreign Language  (EFL) students. Specifically, it explores the impact of e-portfolios on  vocabulary acquisition, speaking fluency, and pronunciation accuracy in a non-EFL setting. The study employs a mixed-methods approach. A  quantitative design with pre- and post-intervention tests measures vocabulary  knowledge and speaking skills. A qualitative strand uses interviews and document analysis to explore students' perceptions and experiences with e-portfolios. Sixty non-EFL students are randomly assigned to an experimental  group using e-portfolios and a control group receiving traditional instruction. Quantitative data is analysed using statistical tests to compare pre- and post-intervention performance between groups. Qualitative data is thematically analysed to identify emergent themes related to students' experiences with e-portfolios. The study expects to demonstrate that e-portfolios can effectively enhance vocabulary mastery and speaking ability in non-EFL students. Findings will contribute to the understanding of e-portfolio implementation in non-EFL contexts and inform pedagogical practices for improving vocabulary  speaking skills. This study stands out by investigating the efficacy of e-portfolios in a non-EFL setting, addressing a gap in existing research. Additionally, the mixed-methods approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact of e-portfolios on both learning outcomes and learner experiences.
